Special education students can be suspended just like regular students. But they cannot be suspended for more than 10 days, no matter what the reason for suspension is, without holding an IEP meeting or being referred for expulsion. The 10 days can be 10 days in a row (consecutive) or a few days at a time adding up to 10 days during the school year. After 10 days, FAPE must be provided to the student.
